I searched the provided Podcast search engines and was unable to locate a podcast on information literacy in the elementary library. Most of the ones I found dealt more with teaching than with librarianship. Out of frustration I turned to Doug Johnson's blog, The Blue Skunk Blog, to find a podcast. The following description accompanied the podcast I chose, Doug Johnson Classrooms and Libraries for the Net Generation.
"Classrooms and libraries will be more effective if educators acknowledge the unique attributes and preferences of the Net Generation and adapt educational environments to suit students instead of trying to change their basic natures. This session looks at the unique attributes of today’s students and proposes a Net Gen learning environment. "
Listening to the podcast requires signing up or logging into an Apple Learning Interchange account. The podcast is lengthy at 57 minutes but it is from the NECC (National Educational Computing Conference) 2007 presented by ITSE (International Society for Technology in Education). More information including handouts, summary, an outline of the podcast as well as supporting research can be found at http://center.uoregon.edu/ISTE/NECC2007/program/search_results_details.php?sessionid=39127081
